I had a friend who traveled to Israel. He described his interview with El Al security - Why are you going? Do you have family there? Do you speak Hebrew? Several questions someone who either practiced Judaism, or knew more about the religion than the average person would know. And this guy did not remotely resemble anyone who would "be profiled".
This is the way to go, rather than grope a 3 year old, or 70 yo with a prosthetic leg. Common sense!
Profile away!

Probably a lot lower than the statistics on how many fake bombs/weapons got through when testing them. Someone else had a good point about the background checks being done on airport workers. There are many foreigners working at airports. In Seattle there are a ton of people who immigrated from Somalia. Now let me make one thing clear before I continue. This is not an attack on the foreigners but rather criticism of the background checking process. The government in Somalia controls a fraction of the capital city and not much else in the entire country. How can you have an effective background check on someone who came from a country where records are probably non-existant? Where does their history start? I'm guessing when they first arrive in the US. How safe is that?

Pr fail!
Here's the head of the TSA telling the world that the allowing agents to see through your clothes "In no way resembles an electronic strip search".

Lying to the American Public in no way resembles suitable justification of a questionable policy.

absolutely correct, he had no intentions on getting on that flight! He wants his 15 minutes of fame and use the TSA as an avenue of getting discovered!
